Subject: One of my favorite shows attended

This was in my first year as a Deadhead. I'm probably about 15 feet to the right of the photographer, maybe a little closer. This show was stellar, from the racing power of Promised Land to the percussive snap of TLEO to the best China-Rider bridge ever in my opinion, and the clean cowbell from Mickey in Uncle John's Band.

I know this is the source of the tape I originally had and played to death because I have the same cut on "There's a wasp's nest under the stage." Now I know I have Tazuo, Jamie, and Russ to thank.

These AUD source shows really get overlooked. But by 1983, if you see an AUD source recorded from FOB, it deserves your attention, because this is the point where audience taping really started coming into its own. This show being a perfect example of that. A nice, clear recording that captures the energy of the crowd. It takes a bit to kick into full gear, but once they do, the band is really playing well here. Highlights are pretty much the whole second set, with stellar UJB and "Throwing Stones" as the real attractions. Taking one star off because the bass end is a bit thin.
